A tension is brewing in Beled Hawo town of Gedo region after Kenyan forces began to construct a security wall inside Somalia.

Radio Shabelle’s reporter in the region says residents of Beled-Hawo on Saturday protested against the encroaching into Somalia’s land by the Kenyan government.

The locals threw stones at Kenyan soldiers building the security wall in Beled Hawo, sparking a scuffle.

Kenya continues a project to construct a 700Km long security wall along its Northeastern region border with Somalia to curb cross-border attacks by Al-Shabaab militants.

Kenya has been carrying out plan to erect the wall inside Somalia since Thursday.

Somali government has yet commented on the issue.
